This man got to be on his last legs.

If not for SA tour, he might've been dropped by now.

Seaweed, GG and SRT's phenomenal form in the past couple of years has masked the waning of Dravid. We can all see it but the Indian NSP just doesn't seem to have the heart to sack the formerly great man. He scratches around like an old chook and then very occasionally grinds out a ton (as he will probably do here) and the NSP pats themselves on the back and says "there, we told you so".

Perfect opportunity being missed to blood some new Indian stars.

Dharmsena as an 'elite' umpire?

Don't tell me.

Dravid gets his ton.

Fighting knock.

This will be a long tour for New Zealand unless they get it together.


Looks unlikely after the first days performance.

I bet the Kiwis rue the day Iain O'Brien left their ranks. He might have actually caused a bit of damage out there.

And where is Tim Southee?

Martin, Bennett, Vettori, Ryder & Patel - gotta be up there with one of the poorest Test attacks in recent memory.

Chris Martin strikes!

Apparently all of the NZ wickets have come from edges onto the stumps. They'll take any bit of luck at the moment.

Apparently Laxman is wearing a back brace. May have been better if he'd skipped this series to make sure he is 100% for South Africa.

Shame Seaweed's carnage ended early.

India probably already have enough runs to win by an innings.

My sentimudges exactly.

Nothing surer than an SRT ton tomorrow.

And a Donut 50+

Sh!t.

Tendulkar C&B.

You're still in form. Tendulkar c&b Patel 40

Beauty from Ojha.

Dharmsena joining the illustrious group of thoroughly incompetent SL umpires.

A strange innings from Tendulkar.

Geez, not much interest in this test on here. NZ aren't being completely sh!t, surprisingly.

They usually put up a good fight against better opposition but will crumble to spin in the second dig.

Are you talking about the current Australian side, JGK?

Williamson hits the cover off one and is given not out. And India still don't want the UDRS??

Can't legislate against stupidity

Well done Jesse Ryder.
